Hi Daniel,
I'm doing this from memory, so I might not be 100% right...
There is a menu option to load a KLD in the 5.0 sysinstall -- I think right
at the end of the 'Configure' menu. You have to scroll down to see it, but
it is there.
If you want to load them in the loader (before actually booting the kernel)
you have to give the full path, eg.
load /if_wi.ko
I guess either method will work.
HTH,
Scott
